Forensic Psychology: Emerging Topics and Expanding Roles

Forensic Psychology: Emerging Topics and Expanding
Roles is designed to present the current state of the
field, in terms of law, ethics, research and practice. Reflecting
the efforts of almost 50 expert contributors, this comprehensive
reference provides a basis for conducting forensic mental health
assessments consistent with the state of the field as it currently
exists and the standard of care that is emerging.

"Alan Goldstein has his finger on the pulse of forensic
psychology. He and his A-list contributors showcase a striking
array of classic conundrums and budding courtroom controversies.
Remarkably, their analysis is as deep as their coverage is broad.
There are two or three works that simply have to be on the shelf of
every forensic psychologist. This book is one of them."

Dr. Alan Goldstein is Professor of Psychology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice - CUNY and is a widely recognized expert and speaker on forensic issues. He is a Diplomate in Forensic Psychologist of the American Board of Professional Psychology and a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Psychology. He serves as an expert witness for defense and prosecuting attorneys on the state and federal levels, where his work includes evaluations for validity of Miranda rights waivers, trial competence, criminal sentencing, issues related to criminal responsibility, death penalty litigation, and future risk of violence. He is also a consultant to a number of law enforcement agencies.

"[Forensic Psychology: Emerging Topics and Expanding Roles]
is an excellent sourcebook for any mental health professional,
whether psychologist or psychiatrist, on topics outside the
expertise of most practitioners.... Goldstein and his coauthors
have made a significant and welcome contribution toward the goal of
setting and maintaining high standards of practice for the field,
even in fringe areas." (Journal of the American Academy of
Psychiatry and the Law, Volume 35, Number 2, 2007)

"This book is a useful, readable, thought-provoking reference
for the field of forensic psychology. It deserves a place on your
bookshelf and should be considered a valuable resource for
clinicians and for anyone who is interested in forensic
psychology." (PsycCRITIQUES, June 13, 2007)

"..Alan Goldstein has assembled a group of legal, forensic, and
assessment luminaries…who lucidly analyze these new and
emerging topics in forensic psychology. I recommend this book
highly for anyone wanting a roadmap of the future of forensic
psychology." (The Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Law,
Winter 2006)
